HDL Technical Team Lead

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the technical lead for HDL development across multiple concurrent programs
• Guide system-level HDL architecture and ensure designs align with program requirements and long-term platform strategy
• Identify opportunities to reuse architecture, IP, and tooling across projects to improve efficiency and consistency
• Lead technical planning, design reviews, and cross-team alignment — ensuring teams move quickly without sacrificing quality
• Spend ~50% of your time on specialty tooling, targeted HDL development, and complex problem-solving
• Collaborate closely with RF, embedded software, and hardware teams to ensure seamless system integration
• Support and mentor HDL engineers through technical guidance, design feedback, and best-practice development — without direct people management
• Own and influence design documentation, simulation strategy, verification approach, and integration readiness
• Evaluate architectural trade-offs, interfaces, and timing constraints across systems and programs
• Support hardware bring-up and integration efforts in Linux-based environments

Qualifications

• Required Education and Experience:
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
• 3+ years of FPGA/HDL development experience (Verilog, VHDL, or similar)
• Strong understanding of digital system design, timing constraints and interfaces
• Familiarity with RF system concepts and how digital logic interfaces with analog hardware
• Ability to think across systems and programs, not just individual blocks
• Preferred Experience:
• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
• Experience with Python, C/C++, or other languages used for tests, tooling, or automation
• Linux development experience (user space, device drivers, Yocto, Petalinux)
• Familiarity with simulation and verification tools (Vivado, ModelSim, etc.)
• Experience with modeling or HDL generation tools (e.g., Spade, Veryl)
• Prior experience supporting multiple programs or product lines simultaneously
